The MA/RI-TACF elections and open Board Meeting will run from 10:00 am to

as new board members. Please feel free to attend before the annual meeting
to see how our board works. There are so many ways you can help in addition to your membership in TACF.

The return of the American chestnut to its former niche in the Appalachian hardwood forest ecosystem is a major restoration project that requires a multi-faceted effort involving members and volunteers, research, sustained funding, and most importantly, a sense of the past and hope for the future.
